When I saw the balloons, my heart felt a wave of joy and anticipation.
The nursery at home and even the car were overflowing with them, a colorful celebration waiting to welcome Suzie and our new twin girls, Emily and Grace.
The nursery was pristine, a picture of perfection that contrasted sharply with the whirlwind of emotions we had experienced leading up to this moment.
As I prepared to bring Suzie and the babies home, I had her favorite songs playing softly in the background—a well-thought-out mix of melodies designed to make the transition as warm and memorable as possible. The effort felt symbolic, a way to honor all she had endured during her pregnancy. Suzie had faced so many challenges, and I was determined to make her homecoming a moment of love and support.
